While that does sound better, it is also quite complex as you point out
taking into account buffer, buffer distance, position of lanes but also
relative ordering of the traffic, parking and bicycle lane, counterflow
cycle lanes. Because of this a quick and simply "doorzone" tag I think is
useful for mappers who don't want to go into such detail. It also makes it
clear, otherwise there could always be a slight difference between data
contributor expectation and data consumer given the complex evaluation
without a dedicated door zone tag.

Agreed.
